BaySierra Financial, Inc.
BaySierra Financial, Inc. (“BaySierra”) is a licensed California real estate broker specializing in the business of arranging, funding, selling, purchasing and servicing trust deed investments secured by California real property for its private investors and its own account. BaySierra was formed in 2000 and has been a licensed real estate brokerage firm since that time.
History
BaySierra was founded in 2000 by John and Pamela Graziano. In 2015, they sold their interests in the company to long time employees Robert “Bobby” Ritter and Stacey Robles; but despite this change of ownership, the company’s interests have remained the same – providing borrowers and lenders professional underwriting services throughout the Golden State. Additionally, Robert and Stacey serve as the company’s president and vice president (respectively.)
BaySierra’s core values: strategic, genuine, reputable, and accessible.
Strategic: In the real estate sphere, people are the number one key to success. What separates BaySierra from the ‘rest of the pack’ is its ability to involve professionals at every level of the investment process. With Bobby and Stacey at the helm, the company is ambitious, but also contentious of seeing both sides of the coin before making large decisions. Because the real estate investment space is multi-faceted, many of BaySierra’s competitors rush to judgement – but decades of experience and fact-based decision-making have echoed the importance of prudence and ambition.
Genuine: Some potential borrowers and lenders say they are skeptical about utilizing real estate professionals because of preconceived notions about those working in the space. Although there are less-than honest professionals offering too good to be true loans, BaySierra strives to offer realistic no nonsense offerings for a wide variety of customers.
Reputable: With over 40 years of experience with borrowers and lenders under their belt, Bobby and Stacey have been securing loans to wide acclaim since the company’s founding nearly two decades ago. The company is growing on a daily basis – but these claims do not come as empty words; one customer, Dan, said “I have been investing with Bay Sierra since 2005 and have been impressed with their industry knowledge, attention to detail, and professional service.”
Accessibility: One of the key factors behind BaySierra’s success is a focus on open and consistent communication with clients. When a customer calls, they can expect a swift response and easy access to whomever they need to speak to. The peace of mind that Robert and Stacey provide for their clients is part of why they have gained so much repeat business.
